David Wyld & Co. was founded in 2002 by company principal David Wyld, following a successful career of 20 years as a partner at one of the City of London's leading firms, Macfarlanes.

Educated at Harrow and Oxford University, David spent some time teaching before becoming a pupil to Gordon Slynn (now Lord Slynn of Hadley) whose practice was in the commercial and constitutional law fields. Articled at Linklaters in 1972, he qualified as a solicitor in 1974 and spent five years with the firm, specialising in administrative and planning law.

During his time at Macfarlanes - which included 10 years as the head of the firm's large litigation department - David forged strong relationships with leading firms in many other jurisdictions that continue to the present day. He gained his significant international expertise and pre-eminence in dispute resolution, acting for overseas commercial and private clients on substantial and complex multi-jurisdictional cases. He qualified as a CEDR Accredited Mediator (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) in 1995. David has been Secretary General of the International Law Association since 1994.

David is also a frequent contributor and speaker on the subject of dispute resolution at conferences throughout the world.
